Automounting



Hi, everybody!

I'm having some problems automounting Windows shares from my Debian
GNU/Linux system running unstable. However, mounting it manually with:

    root@bettan:/import $ mount -t smbfs -o username=Johan,password=foobar
    //nisse/C /import/nisse

works flawless. So it's not a Windows problem(!) :)

I'm quite new with autofs so I don't know if I'm my setup is right,
although people have reported that this works for them. Anyway this is
what I've done:

    root@bettan:/etc $ cat auto.master | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d'
    /import /etc/auto.nisse

    root@bettan:/etc $ cat auto.nisse | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d'
    nisse -fstype=smbfs,username=johan,password=foobar ://nisse/C


Some other information that might be useful:

    root@bettan:~ $ /etc/init.d/autofs status
    Configured Mount Points:
    ------------------------
    /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /import file /etc/auto.nisse

    Active Mount Points:
    --------------------
    /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_:import.pid
    --timeout=300 /import file /etc/auto.nisse

    root@bettan:~ $ df -a
    Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/hda1              5573936    975708   4315084  19% /
    proc                         0         0         0   -  /proc
    devpts                       0         0         0   -  /dev/pts
    automount(pid219)            0         0         0   -  /import

I'm suspecting all this might have something to do with the fact that I'm
trying this from a laptop using PCMCIA, and I don't actually get net
connection until after automount has been started at boot. But doing
/etc/init.d/autofs stop followed by /etc/init.d/autofs start didn't work
either. Neither did changing the order it starts at boot time.

Finaly, this is what I get from syslog:

Jan 29 19:40:52 bettan automount[219]: starting automounter version
4.0.0, path = /import, maptype = file, mapname = /etc/auto.nisse
Jan 29 19:40:52 bettan automount[219]: Map argc = 1
Jan 29 19:40:52 bettan automount[219]: Map argv[0] = /etc/auto.nisse
Jan 29 19:40:52 bettan automount[219]: mount(bind): bind_works = 1

Jan 29 19:40:52 bettan automount[219]: using timeout 300 seconds; freq

Any ideas?
